TFTC = thanks for the cache

 

BYOP = bring your own pen/pencil

 

AKA = also known as (not sure if that's what was intended...context would help)

TFTC = MPLC = "Thanks for the cache."

 

aka? I don't know of any special meaning in geocaching. Can you give an example? In ordinary English, it means "also known as," and is pronounced as separate letters, "A K A."

 

BYOP = "Bring your own pen" or "Bring your own pencil."
